Conifers Of The Northern Rockies

Excerpt from The Conifers of the Northern Rockies The purpose of this bulletin is to enable persons not technically trained in botany to identify the coniferous species of the northern Rocky Mountain region lying within the United States. Nothing is published at present, so far as can be ascertained, which presents with adequate illustrations and in nontechnical language descriptions of the trees of the northern Rocky Mountain region. That some such publication is desirable is indicated by the frequent inquiries for literature on this subject in definite, concise, and popular form. This need is felt by teachers of nature study in the public schools scattered throughout the northern 'rocky Mountain country, as well as by foresters, farmers, and others whose work or pleasure takes them out of doors. Acknowledgments are due to Prof. M. J. Elrod, of the University of Montana, for some of the photographs used herein, and to Mr. E. E. Hubert, of the Bureau of Plant Industry, who has made most of the drawings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
